Loadouts (War Party Management)

Throney’s Loadouts System is the next evolution of the original War Party Management feature.

​

🔄 Transition from War Parties

Previously, War Parties allowed officers to manually organize members into preset static groups and post them to Discord.
With the new Loadouts System, officers now have even greater automation and control:

• Create Player-Based Templates or Class-Based Templates.
• Automatically fill parties based on event signups.
• Freely edit or re-import loadouts as needed.
• Post party setups directly to Discord with the /loadout command.

Party setup happens faster, more accurately, and with less manual effort.

​

📋 How Loadouts Work

​

🛠 Creating a Loadout

1. Navigate to your Alliance Dashboard.
2. Select Loadouts.
3. Choose to create a Player Template or a Class Template.
4. Set up parties:
   • Player Template: Assign specific players to each party slot.
   • Class Template: Assign role types (Tank, MDPS, RDPS, Healer, Bomber) to each slot.

​

🧩 Importing a Loadout

When you import a loadout into a Event Signup:

• Current party data is wiped.
• The system generates parties based on your selected template.

Player Templates:

• Checks if the player is attending.
• If absent, leaves the slot empty.

Class Templates:

• Randomizes the attending list.
• Fills roles in party order, prioritizing earlier parties.
• Later parties may remain partially empty if there aren’t enough players.

After importing:

• You can manually adjust parties, move players, or re-import another loadout if needed.

​

📌 Features in Loadouts

• ✅ Role-Based Party Visuals – Players show colored bands based on their role (Tank, Healer, MDPS, RDPS, Bomber).
• ✅ Character Role Legend – Always visible to understand color codes.
• ✅ Hover Tooltips – Hover over role icons to see their meaning.
• ✅ User Search & Class Filter – Quickly find players in the unsorted pool.
• ✅ Support for Dynamic Events – Loadouts directly integrate with Signups.
• ✅ Officer /loadout Command – Displays current party setups inside Discord, allowing officers to post parties similar to the original War Party system.

​

🛑 Deprecated

• ❌ The old /party command has been removed.
• ❌ The original “War Party” feature is now archived for historical reference only.

All future static party management should use the Loadouts System and /loadout command.
